"Booked a table a week in advance as this was a special meal for my husband 's 74th birthday. I specified where we would like to be seated and explained that it was a special 'do '. We have eaten here twice during lockdown and it was excellent. We always have wine beer followed by 2 prawn cocktails,2 seabass,2 desserts followed by 2 coffees. So good that I passed word around to family and friends.The day before we got a message so that we could confirm everything and again I explained that it was a special meal and where we would like to be seated.We excitedly walked up the steps and had no idea what we were supposed to do hung around a bit and no one came up to us. I walked over to a waitress who was by the computer and I said that we had a table booked. She said 'go to the bar they will see to you '. Went to the bar and joined a bit of a queue (surely there should be someone available to meet and greet customers as they arrive??? Others gave their name and were taken presumably to their booked table. I gave our name and he checked his list he asked for our name again then said 'just a minute ' and he went off somewhere. He came back and said follow me and took us to the left of the bar to a place where we weren 't expecting. He cleared a table that was set for 6 people and we sat down.We were already feeling uncomfortable this room was definitely NOT where we wanted to be it had no atmosphere whatsoever.We ordered drinks. then waitress came and we ordered our usual 2 P Cs and 2 seabass so far OK. then she came back and said 'oh I forgot we have no seabass '. OMG I didn 't know what to do I felt like let 's get out of here but at the same time I thought that we would not get in any other decent restaurant (1st night of no restrictions etc) Absolutely nothing else on the menu appealed to us but in the end my husband went for the fish cakes with salad I really didn 't fancy anything so I asked if I could have the salmon pasta starter dish as a main course. portion of chunky chips.My husband has never in his life said that a meal was 'awful and tasteless ' He really is very easily pleased. his fish cakes with small bit of salad he said he could do better himself and he has never cooked anything in his life! Mine was actually 2 pieces of pasta (tortellini) filled with a horrible tasteless filling supposed to be salmon with a very thin watery tasteless sauce. Things were going from bad to worse.We didn 't bother with dessert or coffee as nothing could make this special night better.I felt so sorry for my husband and I have promised to take him somewhere else this weekend to make up for this disaster of an evening at the Red Fox.This was not cheap so I really don 't know what has happened to the normally very good Red Fox restaurant. Has it changed hands? Has the head chef moved on? Something definitely not right.I left a similar review on the Red Fox website but they have chosen to not bother getting back to me that says it all as far as I am concerned. I had promised to bring my daughter here for a 'special ' meal after she has finished her cancer treatments (radio and chemotherapy) butI can not risk this happening again . I normally do take photos of the meals that we have had here these meals were so poor that I didn 't take any photos. My husband even said that we would have had a better meal in Macdonalds!! We have never been there but I 'm sure he is right."

What a gorgeous place. The food is beautiful and the staff are super attentive. Lovely experience. I go every month too for the yoga brunch.

good place, good food, but no-one took our names and contact details. this is potentially putting people's lives at risk as covid could be passed on here unknowingly, then folk don't self-isolate, and so pass the disease on to their relatives. for this reason I will not be going again, which is a pity

Writing on behalf of my mum who visited with friends. They had (another) fabulous meal in beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.In addition to this review, I'd like to further offer our appreciation to the fabulous staff who went above and beyond when my mum fell ill shortly after the meal was finished. Thank you doesn't really cover it.

We have been many times before but this was the first since “Covid”. The Red Fox is in a nice setting and very popular. The main food course when it eventually came 1 hr after we arrived was well presented and tasted very nice. We were with our grandchildren who were getting very fidgety with the long wait and I heard guests on nearby tables saying “why’s the food taking so long” No reason was given for the delay!

Had the best Sunday Roast in a restaurant here. The mixed version of pork and beef was really tasty and very generous portion. Vegetables cooked to perfection with a little crunch! Service was spot on and atmosphere was so relaxing that we ended up taking 4 hours enjoying our meal! Great selection of drinks and staff really go the extra mile. Ended the evening by retiring to the back bar to enjoy a great selection of whiskey. Thank you for a wonderful wedding anniversary experience.

Had a fantastic meal on a recent visit to the Red Fox. All of the party enjoyed the food and I especially enjoyed the vegan options, although it would be great to have more than one option of vegan starter. Waiters and manager were friendly and helpful. Only constructive point would be that when we had a drink before sitting down to eat, it felt like the bartender who served us was not that familiar with the beers we ordered and wasn't sure where some were and couldn't describe them to us.Looking forward to the next visit, especially for the food! :

We were seated on a fab table for 6 with a great view over the gardens. Drinks arrived promptly, food was gorgeous and came really fast. The waiters couldn’t have been more helpful, we had a walk round the beatififul gardens after and a play on the tractor for the kids. We saw the chef having a little rest Outside the kitchen and thanked him for the delicious dinners! Talented chef! I ordered a vegan curry, it’s hard to make vegan food appealing sometimes. But it was stunning. We had the lamb shoulder and lamp pie too. All incredible and the chips were to die for! Will defo be back

As a family we visited the Red Fox tonight to celebrate my mother in law’s 85th birthday. Table booked for 6.45, for a party of five. Things started badly when the waitress asked if we would like to order drinks and I asked for a few minutes, as not all the party had arrived.From then on all eye contact from the server was avoided. We had to ask for drinks after we had been sat there for about 15 minutes. The order was taken as a matter of course, with no interaction between server and customer. Again had to ask for food order to be taken, no interaction. Wrong food brought and the meal that was missing was the birthday girls!! Replacement was brought quickly.After this point the server beca...
